Abstract: The present invention relates generally to communications, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for generating local oscillator signals used for up- and down-conversion of RF (radio frequency) signals. A major problem in the design of modulators and demodulators, if the leakage of local oscillator (LO) signals into the received signal path. The invention presents a number of highly integratable circuits which resolve the LO leakage problem, using regenerative divider circuits acting on oscillator signals which are running at a multiple or fraction of the frequency of the desired LO signal, to generate in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) mixing signals. Embodiments of these circuits also use harmonic subtraction and polyphase mixers, as well as virtual local oscillator TM (VLO) mixing signals. VLO mixing signals are signal pairs which emulate local oscillator signals by means of complementary mono-tonal and multi-tonal mixing signals.

Abstract: Systems and methods to produce branched alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons are described. Systems may include an isomerization unit, a dehydrogenation unit, an alkylation unit and separation unit. Methods for producing branched alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons may include isomerization of olefins in a process stream. The produced olefins may be used to alkylate aromatic hydrocarbons to form branched alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons. After alkylation of the aromatic hydrocarbons, unreacted components from alkylation process may be separated from the alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons. The unreacted components from the alkylation process may be recycled back into the main process stream or sent to other processing units

Abstract: A slide plate ( 4 ) with a slide opening ( 5 ), which releases an aperture opening is mounted in a slide housing ( 2 ) with the aperture opening ( 3 ). The slide plate is sealed in each operating position by elastically deformable sealing rings ( 7 a, 7 a', 7 b, 7 b') which are arranged in circumferential grooves ( 6 a, 6 a', 6 b, 6 b') and, surrounding the aperture opening ( 3 ), act on both faces of the slide plate ( 4 ). The inner edge ( 8 ) of the slide opening ( 5 ) is designed such that it tapers towards the center ( 21 ) with respect to the wall thickness of the slide plate. This prevents the inner edge from being able to damage the sealing rings, or even to push them out, during movement to the closed position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to structural couplings for forming of a variety of structures such as floor and wall panels for buildings and internal structures such as hand rails. The structural coupling comprises a structural component or components (1) provided with coupling leg formations (2) and locking flanges (F) and a channel section (8) which interconnect one with the other by means of a snap fit engagement (12) of the leg formations (2) of the structural component (1) with the channel section (8). This has considerable advantages over the prior art where nuts and bolts were needed to fasten the components together. The use of a common channel section which can be engaged by snap fit action provides an elegant and non-limited method of joining structural components together rather than in a direct fashion as with prior systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a textile label in which the chip ( 5 ) of the transponder arrangement is completely embedded in adhesive, which not only provides the connection to the textile base layer (2) and to a similarly textile top label ( 7 ), or to the piece of clothing itself, but also provides a highly effective sealing. The adhesive of the adhesive layers ( 3, 4 ) is well-absorbed into the tissue structure by the textile base layer ( 2 ) and optionally into the further textile layers to give a flexible and resistant material composite which does not tend to delaminate or warp under mechanical, thermal and/or chemical stress. It is of advantage with regard to the long-life and reliability of the transponder arrangement to seal the same completely with adhesive, in other words, not just the chip ( 5 ).

Abstract: A wireless communication system can comprise two or more antennas that interfere with one another via free space coupling, surface wave crosstalk, dielectric leakage, or other interference effect. The interference effect can produce an interference signal on one of the antennas. A cancellation device can suppress antenna interference by generating an estimate of the interference signal and subtracting the estimate from the interference signal. The cancellation device can generate the estimate based on sampling signals on an antenna that generates the interference or on an antenna that receives the interference. The cancellation device can comprise a model of the crosstalk effect. Transmitting test signals on the communication system can define or refine the model.

Abstract: The invention provides a silencer and silencing method which ensures adequate silencing with no deleterious increase in back pressure (which creates a lift-off force) or decrease in device performance. Pressurised gas is supplied to a driver chamber by a bleed-hole having an effective bleed-hole area and, during use of the device for particle delivery, gas is vented to the atmosphere via a silencer having an effective venting area. The bleed-hole area and venting area are chosen to ensure that the mass flow rate of gas through the effective venting area is substantially equal to or greater than the mass flow rate of gas through the effective bleed-hole area. This ensures that there is no build up of gas in the silencer device which tends to increase back pressure and hence lift-off force. Preferred embodiments of the device comprise a silencer having a large volume and a small particle exit opening. Further, there is disclosed an embodiment using one or more transfer ducts to assist particle mixing.
